Apologies if this has been asked before but I have a problem with being able to format a field to accept an hours and minutes value where the hours is likely to be greater than 23.
I have a form that is related to the number of hours that people spend in respite care. Entry and exit dates are provided in a standard way - date and time - and I have a calculating field that calculates the number of hours and minutes that a person spends at the respite centre based on the entries made in the entry and exit fields.
Because the calculating field is based on a module and I need to have the calculated amount included in the table, I have set up a VBA code to copy the result of the calculation into a controlled field elsewhere in the form.
However, I also need the form to do a simple calculation whereby hours spent away from the centre are subtracted from the total hours calculated by the module, so I need the copied value to be in a format where the calcualtion is able to be performed.
In a nutshell I guess I am looking for a time format for the field that will allow the recipt of a value greater than 23 hours.
Of course perhaps I need a more sophisticated VBA script to perform the calculation behind the scenes but I admit to not being particularly at ease with VBA scripting. If anybody has any suggestions about either a format or a suggestion for a VBA script, I would be very appreciative.
Hi, I have never had to do any maths with access before, so I don’t know where to start!
What I need to do is calculate remaining warranty information for products.
In the table I have 3 columns. the 1st column is "Purchase date (dd/mm/yy)" 2nd column is "Total warranty period (years)" and the 3rd column is "Remaining warranty"
The 3rd column is the one that will display how long is left to run! How do I achieve this?
I have a time/date field. The format for the field is short time hh:mm I created a Private Sub for when the field is double clicked the time is populated.On Double Click:
Private Sub Time_of_Call__DblClick(Cancel As Integer) Me.[Time of Call:] = Time() End Sub
It works great. I double click the field and "poof" the time appears. My problem is when the time appears it is in hh:mm:ss..I need it to be in 24 hour/ military time.
In my form I have a calculated field that works out the time elapsed for a job, worked out as the QTY/RUN RATE which gives me the time in hours. However I couldn't format the box as a date/time, as it is a calculation and the times may go over 24 Hours which results in the date/time giving me something like 31/12/1899 16:00 for example.
I've got around this now and I've formatted the results as HH:NN:SS using a public function in a module, but the problem is this is now stored as a text field. I've tried setting this to a number field but the formatting doesn't carry over. I've tried setting a custom format in the table as HH:NN:SS but then all I get is just a bunch of 0's, no calculation results.
So how to format this as a number field properly?
Also for any extra information:
- I know you're not supposed to store calculated results, but this is slightly different, the calculated field is a standalone text box and the bound field is a formatted text box. - The reason I have to store the calculated results is because my boss wants to eventually see a chart of the total hours of jobs each day, hence why I'm asking if this can be done as a number field.
I have a working dB which can calculate a shift duration and sum total all shifts worked within a period for the purpose of producing a labor report for payroll. I have successfully used the DateDiff function and converted the minutes to HH:MM on my form and reports. Now I want to calculate elapsed time for a specific period within a shift, I'll call it OtherHours and I am aiming to calculate a portion of time that meet the following conditions below. I am using field names of [PunchIn] and [PunchOut] and both are of type General Date.
IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Saturday,Sunday EXIT FUNCTION ELSE IF [PunchOut] ISNOT Between Midnight and 0559 hours EXIT FUNCTION ELSE DATEDIFF ("n", <MIDNIGHT>, [PunchOut])
My thoughts are to solve the DateDiff portion and then figure out how to apply the conditions within the IF statements.
I have a database consisting of two tables. One is "articles" and the other is "tasks". To put it simply, I would like to find how much time the article spends in tasks, but one article can have many tasks, and they often (but not always) overlap. Tasks have a start and end date field.
Formatting issue regarding elapsed time calculated using DateDiff().
I understand that you can specify the output value for DateDiff(). In my case I have chosen "n" for minutes. Each result in my query shows the correct calculation in terms of minutes.
[PunchIn] = 11/23/2013 8:11:28 AM [PunchOut] = 11/23/2013 5:43:30 PM
Now when I try to format the result in terms of H:MM (be it in a form or a report) I get varied results. I'll illustrate an example below:
=Format(([ShiftLength]/60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 10.32 Not correct
=Format(([ShiftLength]60),"0") & "." & Format(([ShiftLength] Mod 60),"00") Returns 9.32 This is correct but I need my result to be in the form of a decimal such as my next example
=([ShiftLength]/60) Returns 9.53333333. Getting there but how do I have this result only show two decimal points 9.53?
Hello buddies :D, do you have any idea how to make this work?
To select data that falls within this criteria of date range between cboDate and cboDate2 (fields on my form). The date in [tblJobDetails]![timeIn] come in this format "08/17/06 10:24 AM", but the cboDate/cboDate2 (takes in date only e.g 08/17/06) what i am after is to evaluate specific hard coded time in addition to the date entered, i.e. even tho, i haven't entered time on the cboDate/cboDate2, I want specific time hard coded where e.g If i select a date range of 08/17/06 and 08/18/06 on my cboDate and cboDate2 it should really be evaluating: 08/17/06 8:00 AM to 08/18/06 8:00 AM.
This is the criteria i curentlly have on my query in design view tha works perfect in selecting date only. ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]>=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate] Is Null) And ([tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Or [tblJobDetails]![timeIn]<=[Forms]![frmPendingJobs]![cboDate2] Is Null) How can I incorporate 8:00am to 8:00am into my cboDate and cboDate2. What can i do to make this happen? Your kindness will be greatly appreciated http://www.naijaryders.com/forums/images/smilies/thankyou.gif
I need some help with calculating login/logout times. I have an ODBC link set up for the raw data in AVAYA. The problem is that the login/logout times are reflected as the number of seconds that have passed since January 1st, 1970. I need to know what that amount in seconds is in a time format.
I have worked out the number of days difference between my rowdate and the start date of 01/01/1970 so I am left with how many seconds have passed since midnight of the selected date.
For example, the selected date is 3/7/07. The Login time is 5410 (seconds passed since 3/7/07 00:00:00). How do I figure out what time that was (hh:mm:ss)?
Hello, I have been struggling with this for 2 weeks now. I give up and am now going to ask for help. I am trying to calculate time. I have been trying to do this in the query. I have 4 fields Start Finish Start2 Finish2 I need to figure out how many minutes total a letter was worked on. The reason for the 2 time sets is because they could start a letter and then stop and then come back to it later. So I think what I need to do is figure out how many hours and minutes for the 1st Start/Finish set, then figure out the hours and minutes for the 2nd Start/Finish set and then add the two together. Can anyone help me out here. Like I said I am at my whits end. Oh the fields are formatted in the Date/Time data type.
I have a database with date and time each stored in a separate field. Now I want to query the database based on a start date/time and an end date/time. I started with the code below but it only returns events within the same time range on each day when what I really need is every event from a specified date and time through a specified date and time.
SELECT myTable.ID AS myTable_ID, myDate, myTime, FirstName, LastName FROM Staff INNER JOIN myTable ON Staff.ID = myTable.StaffID WHERE myTable.myDate >= #3/2/2014# AND myTable.myDate <= #3/3/2014# AND myTable.myTime >= #8:00PM# AND myTable.myTime <= #11:00PM# ORDER BY myDate desc
In the above example what I want is every event from 3/2/2014 8:00PM until 3/3/2014 11:00PM. But what I get instead is every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/2/2014 and every event between 8:00PM and 11:00PM on 3/3/2014.
I have a file that collects the time data of the shop employees. It records time in (start of day), time out (lunch start), time in (lunch end) and time out (end of day).
I have the following feilds in a query: Timein Timeout I need a subtotal feild that totals the two across midnight I also need a Lunch feild Then I need a total feild with the subtotal and total subtracted
I tried using this expression please help anyone if you can
Format([Timein] -1 -[Timeout], "Short Time") this created my subtotal feild
then I had a made lunch feild with 30 mins of time into it
then i tried Format([subtotal] -1 -[lunch], "Short Time") and called this one my total box.
The first one worked the second reported an error. Please any suggestions??
I have attached a really simple db where in a query I'm trying to determine the elapsed time between A sent date and a received date. Can some tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks..
Hi, I wonder if someone can help me with the following problem:
I have a table with 2 columns,start time and end time, both containing time values in a four digit format, eg 0930 being 9:30am etc.
I have made a query to convert these into the standard format (eg 0930 becomes 09:30), using left/right and & functions.
Now I use the timevalue function to convert the string , eg 09:30m into a recongnised time value.
The problem is now I want to find the difference between the start and end times- but when i try a simple end_time - start_time formule it returns a long number which i dont understand, rather than just giving me the difference betwen the two times.
Im sure there is a simple way to do this which I dont know, can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

I need help to calculate time difference from the record above where ID is same. I have attached an example in excel with this request where I have if statement doing exacly what I want to do in Access. I have a table in Access that has three columns - as below
i have a opened date[default value =Now()] and resolved date[default value =Now()].
i would like to calculate the time elapsed between the two dates. it is normally on the same day, but there are instances where it can run past midnight.
I have a combo box which looks up a set of values from a table, some of these I have got to store, others I merely want to work with and calculate from. These columns are:
Now for most of these, I 'think' I have it planned where they will go or how they will be used, but the OTRate is flummoxing me a wee bit.
On the form, I have an OT(time) field - the idea being that the user will enter the hours and minutes of overtime they have done (short time format - is this correct?)
Then, I would like the form to calculate the cash value (has to be stored in a field) by multiplying the hours/mins worked by the OT Rate - - but I don't want to store the OTRate unless I really have no other option. Once the calculation has been done, if the Rate is then 'forgotten' then that is no issue, as the only time it would be needed is if the field is revisited to amend any errors (so I am thinking the calculation should be done as an After Update event on the OT(time) field?)
I run a Pass through query against a SQL-Server from Access 2010.I have a field TimeWorked which has values like 1899-12-30 03:30:00.000, for 3:30 hours and a field PaymentPerHour with values like 10.50 (for EUR 10,50).The result schould be 36,75 (36.75).
I tried to calculate like this: Round(convert(varchar,[TimeWorked],104)*1440*[PaymentPerHour ]/60,2)AS TtlPayment
In an Access query it works with the connected table in the accb, but not against the server.I get a lot different errors when trying to convert into int, datetime, etc. but could not solve my problem.
I have a table in access that has 1 ) persons ID and ) log date/time 3) direction in or out
I need to calculate the amount of time spent by the person in the office. e.g User with ID 1 will come in at 8 in the morning and go out after an hour then come in again and go out. Till he leaves out for the day. I need to find the first time he came in and last time he went out and find the difference for the hours he worked
I have created a database in Access where parents of students may come in and volunteer and receive free time credit from their employer (those companies who participate).
The database runs fine: Main table (demographics; student table; signIn/signOut table; and Volunteer Duty (a combo box that list all of the approved volunteer duties to qualify for the time credit) Every thing works perfect with the exception of my signIn/signOut form. After struggling with this for countless hours, I have settled for a manual entry of the signIn and signOut time, entered at the time of their start/stop times. I would like for it to be an automated function, but I have had such a difficult time up to this point I will settle for this method. What I NEED is to figure out how to make my "total vol hours today" field calculate the total volunteer hours at the time the parent "signOut".
If some of you Access MVP's can help with this I will be very grateful.
I am using access 2013 and have an issue creating a query with employee hours for a two week period.
For starters I have a table with the following:
Employee Number, Date, Time in, Time out, Description, Rate Code, Week end, Pay Period. (there are a couple others but they are not needed for the query)
My table is set up this way so that each employee can clock in and out 1-4 times a day based on what they are doing. For example I may work from 6-8 in the office then 8-10 in the field. The office has one rate code and the field has a different one so i cant just be clocked in from 6-10.
At the end of the pay period I create a report and send it to an accouting firm who does the payroll. Right now I have to manually enter in each employees time. I was hoping that by using this table I could create a query that will give me the calculations I need in order to create the report.
In my query (to Start) I need to have the following with it set up per pay period.
Employee Number Rate Code Regular Hours Overtime Hours
How to set it up so that it calculates the hours based per rate code with the given pay period.
I have form with a label and input textbox and a cmmdbutton.In that text box you can fill a number and that number is the scale in minutes.When i click on the cmmdbutton, a table or query shows up with the time and its scale.For example if i put in the form, the number 10 in the textbox and click on the button, A table must show up with the values 00:00, 00:10, 00:20 ,00:30,00:40,00:50,01:00, etc till 23:50.
